Adventures With Bill

Adventures With Bill is a main segment on The Red Green Show. Next to Handyman Corner, it is the second longest-running segment on the show. It is presented in a grainy, black-and-white format as though recorded on a cheap home camera, usually accompanied by a pleasant song in the background. The segment features a simple plot and action usually in the form of slapstick comedy, narrated by Red as though he's recounting the events of the segment after the fact. Most segments starring Bill usually end up with him in some strange predicament as well as getting hurt even flattened by a wine press in one episode and a steamroller wheel in another, though he always springs back in the next episode. Through roughly the first half of the series, Adventures segments starred mainly just Bill Smith and Red Green. Other characters would make occasional appearances in the segment, and in some cases Red would be absent though he always narrates every segment. In later seasons, Bill himself would be absent, usually replaced by Walter. Adventures With Bill is the primary place where Bill exhibits his knack for pulling random things out of his overalls. This segment is also where the Possum Van gets most of its damage.
